Why did Mr. Kelly agree to process a false invoice from RTÉ, which falsely described the service as rendered to a company that he had never heard of and not to the company he was seeking to provide the services to, namely, Renault? Why did he process that invoice, him being, one would assume, a responsible director of a long-standing company? In processing that false invoice, did he ever consider for a moment the huge reputational damage that might arise from such processing to a broadcaster that is held in admiration and, I would argue, a degree of fondness by the Irish people? Did he consider for a moment what the reputational damage to Mr. Tubridy might be if details of that false invoicing might emerge in the future?
